MINERAL WELLS — Pharmacy robbed

Mineral Wells police and other law enforcement were out looking for a suspect in an alleged robbery of a pharmacy in the 200 block of Farm-to-Market Road 1821 around noon Wednesday.  

Only narcotics were reportedly taken from the business.

A man around 6-foot tall with brown hair and some facial hair was reportedly seen running from the business in a black, short sleeve shirt and dark pants after taking off a denim shirt, according to a description of the man provided to officers.

Police said they were looking for a rusty yellow, older model truck the man may have fled in.  

No other information was immediately available Wednesday afternoon.

Man arrested for fleeing accident

Travis John Clifton, 28, of Ranger, was arrested July 13 for leaving the scene of an accident involving injury or death, a state jail felony, and and driving while intoxicated, a class B misdemeanor.

According to DPS Highway Patrol Sgt. Jason Dudley, a trooper responded to a one vehicle wreck on State Highway 108 near Guiness Road, just outside Mingus, around 9:45 p.m. July 13 but found no one around.  

An adult woman passenger was reportedly transported by private vehicle to the Eastland Memorial Hospital emergency room for injuries and the driver, believed to be Clifton, was located at his Strawn residence within an hour of the wreck, according to Dudley.  

“A sobriety test was administered and he was arrested for DWI and failure to report an accident at once to authorities,” Dudley said.

Clifton was released on $11,500 bond July 14.  

Mineral Wells police reported the following arrest:

• Caleb Barry Patton, 18, of Mineral Wells, was arrested Wednesday on a warrant for disorderly conduct.
